We ordered off the Grandma's special. In order of my favorite: Kal Bi Jim (beef short rib), Dea Ji Bo Sam (pork belly), and Yuk Hwe (steak tartar.) The short ribs fell right off the bone and had the best flavor of all the dishes. The steak tartar was pretty tasty, but still had frozen portions throughout. The side were also great with tons of options. I appreciate that they grow all their own vegetables and hand make their sauces in-house. We'll definitely be back again!
Homemade Kimchi and Dwenjang(bean paste) sauce were top notch. You rarely experience any Korean restaurants preparing their own Kimchi and Dwenjang for it’s just so much easier to purchase them from suppliers that produce mass of them. Jang Soo had their own Kimchi and Dwenjang prepared and you can tell that they are different from the off the shelf ones.
We had Galbi (large in portion), Dwenjang jjiggye, Deokbokgi which were all authentic and tasty but what got us most attracted to were the side dishes. As you can see it in the picture, they are nicely arranged on one plate easy for us to pick and choose from.
The ladies were super kind and nice. Atmosphere was very typical of a traditional Korean restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed everything about the restaurant. We will definitely go back when we come back to SFO.
The only negative comment I can think of about this place is that it’s little bit pricy.
I appreciate a good hot grill. And they had it. Gas grill with permanent rocks underneath made for a good char. Recommend the fried rice cakes with honey. Highly recommended all around. kimchi chi ge was a little off, however. Staff was attentive and friendly. Setting was very nice
What can I say other than we are huge fans of Korean bbq. Jang Soo is very popular especially for large parties. I know I’d been before but couldn’t remember what I thought about so we returned again. We knew what we wanted and didn’t cook our own bbq, and food came out pretty quick and all the sauces and vegetables were super fresh. Only thing that we left wishing was better was the service. Seemed like the busy night got the best of the staff and their faces told the story very quickly. Will be back again because we want to see what the staff is really like on a good day.
Night dinner, I need warm soup, the Korean style chicken soup always the best choice when I feel out of weather... it will gave me more Energy. The seafood pancake is huge, love it !!!
